What a difference a few weeks makes! (Ultrasound pics included)
Comments (39)Awww, Mama Emerald (and papa Emerald, too!) I can already tell you are going to be wonderful parents....in that you recognize the 'tease' your little 'love-blob' is being! (Ha, ha...camera stopped....now I'll perform!!). Get used to it.....this 'teasing' could go on for the rest of little love-blob's life! ~ And then.....this beautiful 'blob' translates into this magical head...complete with eyes, nose, mouth.....before you know it there will be eyelashes, fingers, toes, nails....Oh My! Please continue to take us along on this miracle journey with you and papa Emerald. We'd feel rejected if you didn't include us now!!! And as to the Christmas decorations.....good idea, but maybe you should hold off until just after Halloween. That would still give you time to set up the nursery after the decorations go up!

Comments (2)It is extremely unlikely you are pregnant, but I suppose another pregnancy test in a few weeks can assure you. (I had regular monthly periods until last year, at 57! But my doctor told me around age 48 that I could stop worrying about birth control, as it would take a miracle to get pregnant naturally. (She explained that even if we still have regular periods in our late forties and into our 50's, our uterus knows we are no longer meant to conceive and will not 'accept' an egg, unless we use IVF drugs to artificially force it to do so.) However, I'm bothered that your doctor simply stated all was fine, as I'd be wondering whether something might be amiss with your ovaries or uterus, after reading your symptoms. Please ask your doctor if you should have an ultrasound to see if an ovarian cyst or thickened endometrium could be causing your symptoms....See Morequestion re pregnancy and throid
Comments (6)It can be extremely serious. I have thyroid disease and on a daily basis it affects me, I would think when pregnant it would definitely make one have some special needs. Are you sure it is hyper not hypo? Either one is still a serious condition. "# Women with severe or uncontrolled hyperthyroidism have an increase risk of infection, iron deficiency (anemia), and high blood pressure accompanied by too much protein in the urine (a potentially dangerous condition called pre-eclampsia). # If a woman has severe hyperthyroidism, her baby has a chance of having hyperthyroidism as well. There is a risk to the outcome of the pregnancy, having a small baby or a premature birth." "It is very important that hyperthyroidism be controlled in pregnant women since the risks of miscarriage or birth defects are much higher without therapy. " "Hyperthyroidism - or having an overactive thyroid gland - can pose special concerns during pregnancy. When the body delivers too much thyroid hormone, both the mother and the baby can suffer. Miscarriages, premature births, and intrauterine growth retardation can occur when the disorder goes undiagnosed or untreated. Pregnant women with hyperthyroidism can also develop high blood pressure, and are at greater risk of heart conditions." All of the facts above would be enough in itself to cause a pregnant woman much anxiety and stress not to mention the actual condition itself and the risk to the baby. Not every pregnancy is the same and each person has their own situations which impact them and how they react to them, it is important for those that are the support team to help relieve them of some of that stress and be supportive. It may not be how you would have handled it in your own pregnancy but you are not carrying the baby and you are not enduring the stress so try to help and stay positive it is the best thing for that precious little life....See MorePost Pregnancy Joint Pain & Muscle Stiffness
Comments (8)I'm sorry you're going through all this. I've had a lot of health issues since I was in my mid 20s so I know how tough it is. I'm almost 60 so I've dealt with this for over half my life. One thing I have and I think it's more common than people think is low magnesium levels. Doctors don't recognize this as they only check blood serum magnesium levels that will always be high as the body pulls magnesium from the bones to keep the blood levels up so you don't have a heart attack. Instead, they need to check the cellular magnesium level to diagnose low magnesium. There are over 300 functions magnesium is needed for in the body including relaxing muscles and removing lactic acid from them. Here are a couple of articles on the role of magnesium in health: http://web.mit.edu/london/www/magnesium.html http://drsircus.com/medicine/magnesium/magnesium-deficiency-symptoms-diagnosis I don't know if this applies to you, but a lot of pain that doctors fail to diagnose is myofascial pain where the muscles/fascia get knots in them that refer pain elsewhere. I've had severe myofascial pain since I was 15 years old, and had every sort of pain in almost every part of my body that couldn't be diagnosed. Fortunately I stumbled on a book on the subject years ago, and have been able to control my pain doing trigger point massage. Everyone has myofascial pain from time to time. Check out triggerpointbook.com. This book and my two-headed percussion massager has made my life manageable. http://www.amazon.com/HoMedics-Homedics-Thera-P-Percussion-Massager/dp/B00DCR8M1M/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1423676319&sr=1-2&keywords=percussion+massager...See Morecatherinet
